Oh, I know this agony, and it’s so scary: “pain so severe that I wondered if I would die.” Yes. Exactly. Which is why sometimes I question whether I might ever realize (in time, if need be) when there is a dangerous pain, particularly if it’s in my head or neck. Migraine is such a common disease. You’d think doctors would have figured out more about it by now.

I’m glad that getting distance from the unhealthy relationships in your life has helped you. You should absolutely write about how you’ve found relief from your migraines! I’m sure it would help many. In the meantime, I wish you much success with acupuncture, chiropractic, and massage. For me, acupuncture helped with the hormonal ones, whereas chiropractic and massage helped with the postural/muscular/pinched-nerve ones.

Sending you also vibes of healing and comfort, Josie! 💜
